<p>You didn't take my comment right. Anyways they've all had time in those systems and none of those players worked in those SYSTEMS. Just don't make excuses for ones you like and bash the ones you dislike (Aminu).</p>

<p>No were not. He keeps stating that Brandon Wright and Marcus Williams are disappointments, when they are bigger bust than J.J. Reddick. I was just trying to let him know that they both had their chances and that it had nothing to do with their coaches.</p>

<p>You guys are making the same point.</p>

<p>So J.J. is garbage because his coach doesn't play him, but Brandon Wright isn't? If i'm not mistaken, he was getting some good minutes but Randolph just started outplaying him and took his spot. Then you have Marcus Williams, who played on the Nets when they didn't have a half-decent PG and still couldn't get minutes. Just face it, they are garbage.</p>

<p>You cannot blame Van Gaudy for not using enough JJ because the Magic wins games, unlike Nelson, whose warriors lose and does not use Marcus Williams and Brandon Wright. </p>
<p>Reddick had his chance to prove himself, but he did not play as well as Van Gaudy liked him to,<br />
and that's why rookie Courtney Lee is playing 36 MINUTES a game in the playoffs, while JJ is not even part of the rotation.</p>
<p>Think this way, if JJ were to be able to play, then he would at least share minutes w/ Courtney Lee for 18 minutes a game, instead of the DNPs.</p>

<p>What you are not understanding is that Reddick is better than Kapono and Korver, but they are still considered "great role players", while Reddick is deemed as a bad player. If he was in the right situation he could easily average 14-15 ppg.</p>

<p>I'm just curious, why? What helped you determine this? Was it others? If you break Henderson's game down to a season by season basis, you will quickly notice how he's improved. If you watched him play earlier this season, he's become an animal compared to what he started out as. The thing that is so enticing about him, is the fact that he's still so RAW and still so INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE. </p>
<p> Personally I'm not saying he's great, but think about this..</p>
<p>- has the size (remember wingspan counts in this)<br />
- smooth effortless jumping ability<br />
- ability to get his shot ANYTIME he wants it<br />
- no left hand (or handles) but is still EFFECTIVE</p>
<p> The last one, is what I find intriguing about Henderson. He's a player who can only GO RIGHT and has NO BALL HANDLING SKILLS. Think of the improvement with some development in these areas. You have to look at him, from fresh to what he is currently, which is much much better. Sure, he should be ahead of his current progress. We all know this, but what people should take notice in, is the fact that he's improved every year (many just never do). So all in all, we know he's trying to get better and thats what it takes (and that should mean something as well).</p>

<p>That 3 inches can completely change how the college game translates into the NBA, especially if one greatly lacks athleticism.<br />
That additional 3 inches can allow a player to play SF, instead of SG, which for SOME players may be an offensive advantage because many SFs lack the defensive quicknesses that SGs have.</p>

<p>Okay Aminu, they are 3 inches taller. What is your point? Reddick is a more polished offensive player than Kapono and Korver.</p>
